Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.
Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%. For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.
I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

- Always call vfs_setdirty() with vm_mtx held.
- Fix an old comment: vm_hold_unload_pages is called vm_hold_free_pages()
nowadays.
- Always call vm_hold_free_pages() w/o vm_mtx held.
- Don't bother releasing Giant while doing a lookup on the vm_map of
initproc while starting up init. We have to grab it again right after
the lookup anyways.
at the top of the minute, whichever comes first. It seems
logtimeout() is only called once after the kernel log is opened
and then never again after that. So I guess syslogd only gets
kernel log messages by virtue of syncer(4)'s flushes ...?

- Don't release the vm mutex early in pipespace() but instead hold it
across vm_object_deallocate() if vm_map_find() returns an error and
across pipe_free_kmem() if vm_map_find() succeeds.
- Add a XXX above a zfree() since zalloc already has its own locking,
one would hope that zfree() wouldn't need the vm lock.
vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.
faults can not be taken without holding Giant.
Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.
Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.
FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor

the number of references on the filesystem root vnode to be both
expected and released. Many filesystems hold an extra reference on
the filesystem root vnode, which must be accounted for when
determining if the filesystem is busy and then released if it isn't
busy. The old `skipvp' approach required individual filesystem
xxx_unmount functions to re-implement much of vflush()'s logic to
deal with the root vnode.
All 9 filesystems that hold an extra reference on the root vnode
got the logic wrong in the case of forced unmounts, so `umount -f'
would always fail if there were any extra root vnode references.
Fix this issue centrally in vflush(), now that we can.
This commit also fixes a vnode reference leak in devfs, which could
result in idle devfs filesystems that refuse to unmount.

kill a process when memory is exhausted while holding the lock of the
process to kill.
When people access /dev/tty, locate their controlling tty and return
the dev_t of it to them. This basically makes /dev/tty act like
a variant symlink sort of thing which is much simpler than all the

- Since polling should not involve sleeping, keep holding a
